The Reliable Door Installation Calgary Homeowners Can Count On

When it comes to repairing doors, it's essential to rely on the expertise of a professional handyman. They have the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to ensure a thorough and effective repair. While a do-it-yourself approach is an option, it may inadvertently worsen the problem if the underlying issue is uncertain. Trust our professional services for high-quality door repair, Calgary residents.

This depends on the specific issue and whether it involves an interior or exterior entrance. Nevertheless, our highly skilled team can typically restore your door to its original condition in just a few hours or even less, ensuring fast and efficient Calgary door repair service.

Yes, we do. Whether you require repairs for your existing doors or wish to replace them entirely, our team of expert door specialists is at your service. We possess the expertise to remove and replace your current door, ensuring a seamless transition.

Calgary residents don't have to hesitate to contact us for all their door needs.

Calgary homeowners may think that, on the surface, door replacement and installation appear to be the same type of service. Our experienced door installers, in both cases, provide you with a brand-new door. However, the difference lies in the work required for the replacement or door installation.

Calgary homeowners who contact us for door replacement typically already have an existing door in place that they want replaced. In this case, our team already has an opening to work with, and while some adjustments may be necessary, we are essentially installing a new unit to replace an existing door. This process is generally a lot less invasive and labour-intensive than the process for door installation.

Calgary homeowners who want a new door where one is currently installed need door installation services. Sometimes, this may involve remodeling, such as creating an entrance to a previously unoccupied room, relocating your front door, or installing a sliding door to complement a new deck or patio space. Either way, this process generally involves cutting into your home to create an opening, preparing said opening for the new door, installing the door frame, hanging the door, ensuring it’s properly sealed, and finishing it off with new hardware and trim. 

Whether you need a replacement unit or a new door installation, Calgary's top handyman experts on our team have you covered.

The lifespan of a door depends on its use and the level of care it receives. Interior doors can last several decades with proper maintenance, while exterior doors, due to their exposure to the elements and increased wear, typically last 15 to 30 years or longer, depending on the type of door material. However, this is contingent on proper maintenance and timely door repair.

Calgary homeowners who perform preventative maintenance tasks, such as regular cleaning, lubricating, sealing, tightening hardware, inspecting for signs of damage, and replacing worn parts, will find that their doors will stay in better condition and last longer. Additionally, these tasks enable them to identify and address minor issues before they escalate into costly Calgary replacement repair services.

Calgary residents do not need a permit for cosmetic repairs, door maintenance, or a straight replacement, where a new door is installed in the same location without altering the size or structure of the doorway. However, a permit is required if any structural changes are involved, including creating new openings, or if the work is being done in conjunction with other major remodeling work. Our handyman professionals are experts in navigating local building codes and regulations, ensuring the necessary permits are obtained and approved for your door project.

Choosing the best and right material for a new door is integral in the process of door installation. Calgary faces cold winters, dry spells, strong winds, and temperature swings. In such conditions, you may want to veer away from pure wooden doors. While you can absolutely choose wood, you will just want to make regular maintenance or a habit, otherwise you will find yourself in need of door replacement. Calgary homeowners should consider the following options:

• Fibreglass: This material is widely considered the top choice for Calgary homes due to its durability, energy efficiency, resistance to warping, cracking, moisture damage. All of these weather conditions are a serious concern for Calgarians, but fibreglass doors effectively mitigate these issues. They also have the ability to mimic the look of wood without all the maintenance hassle. They have a foam insulated core which provides superior protection against heat loss in winter, making them highly energy-efficient.
• Steel: Steel is another great option for door installation. Calgary homeowners will like steel because it provides excellent security, insulation, and affordability. Steel resists warping and is robust in Calgary's temperature swings. If you opt for an insulated steel door with polyurethane foam cores, it will keep your home effectively comfortable in both winter and summer.
